Bedroom Pop Artist Aunty Social Will Have You Dancing Alone To “Hide Away”
August 16, 2021 BY Nettwerk
Toronto-based bedroom pop artist Aunty Social shares her new single, “Hide Away,” a bouncy track that makes the listener want to isolate and dance alone in their room. The track is the latest offering from her upcoming EP, It Looks Friendly, out September 24, 2021.
Daniela, aka Aunty Social, explains, “This song was written during a day, like many, when I refused to engage with the world outside my bedroom. Sometimes showering and feeding myself is enough of an excuse to withdraw and that’s ok. An itching guilt usually follows and if I could describe the feeling it would be like waiting for something to happen but not willing to make it happen myself. Just a lazy, lazy, self-isolady. Nothing in this song was re-tracked, so it’s basically just a professionally mixed and mastered demo. We tried to re-track the vocals, but I wasn’t able to match the relaxed performance. I always get attached to the ease and confidence of demo vocals so I try to keep whatever I can get away with, and this is the first time I kept every single thing.“
